Town Hall Meeting

I am going to edit this entry as things pop up during the 2nd debate, which happens to take place in our neighboring university Belmont:

1. Where are all the black folk in this town hall meeting? I see but a few out there. Were these 100 undecided townsfolk not supposed to include a nice cross-section of the population?

2. Second question from a young black man. I hate to continue the race talk, but if a black person votes for McCain will he ever be welcomed home? On a serious note, I guess it looks like it is you white folk out there that need convincing as to whom you are going to vote for.

3. Don't know if you have heard, but McCain said that the "fundamentals of the economy are strong."

4. Message to Teresa Finch: if you are asking a question in a presidential debate that contains about 10 words, I suggest that you do not pause after every 3 words.

5. I had not noticed this before, but McCain is looking a little tired and worn down and he hasn't even started the presidency. Just look at before and after pix of past prez. What will happen to McCain? Do you trust cheerleader Palin to lead your country?

6. Just as I thought we had heard it all before, because this seems more like an hour and a half of stuff we have heard before, Tom Brokaw pulls out his veto pen and asks a question of his own over an online voter question.

We interrupt this townhall meeting for a message from our sponsors (ok, not really), but this is really funny.

After 49 mins I call it quits. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the debate and go Obama!

I'm completely out of the loop. Who are the pundits calling the winner?
